CHROMATHERAPY CRATE59 GALLERY 19TH JULY - 17TH AUGUST 2024
Colour has played an important part in all of my artworks throughout my creative practice, particularly using colour to influence physical and emotional well-bring.
The effects colours can have when placed next to another, can shift and vary, and influence how a viewer may engage with my artworks.
For this exhibition, I have specifically focused on the healing properties of the colours themselves. The ‘greyscale’ images were specifically made to serve as a counterpoint to the colour pieces on display and give balance to the whole show so as to not overwhelm the exhibition.

BALANCE
‘The long and winding road, that leads to your door’
100cm X 100cm - Acrylic on Canvas
Life’s journey is filled with twists and turns, ups and downs. Finding balance means embracing both the challenges and triumphs along the way. Trusting that every step, even the difficult ones, brings us closer to where we are meant to be. Staying grounded, staying accepting and open to change, will allow the natural rhythm of life to guide towards harmony, balance and fulfilment.
REVOLUTION

100cm X 100cm - Acrylic on Canvas
True change starts with a single spark of passion and courage to challenge the status quo and embrace the spirit of revolution within. Being unafraid to stand up for what we believe in, and making that small start to take bold steps toward creating our world can lead to great change to make a difference.
‘Don’t you know it’s gonna be, alright. It’s gonna be, alright’
VISION
‘Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see’
100cm X 100cm - Acrylic on Canvas
It’s time to open our eyes to the limitless potential that lies ahead. Vision is not about seeing what is directly in front of us, but also imagining what could be. Dream big and allow our imagination to guide us towards our goals. We can trust in the ability to envision a future that aligns with our aspirations. By looking beyond the immediate, we can unlock the power to shape our destiny with clarity and purpose.

It’s time to let go of the past and welcome the new opportunities that are coming our way. Trust that no matter how challenging things may have been, brighter days are ahead. Allow the energy of renewal to fill us with hope and optimism, and be able to step forward with confidence into the light of a new day.
